A Victim of Superstition.
Galena QlI) Correspondence of the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat.


Globe Democrat
Conrad Seip, an old German wood
sawyer of this city, is victim to super
stition more fanatically grounded than
that which prevailed in the dark days of
witchcraft and sorcery. The man is per-
fectly sane otherwise, is we'll educated,
and still great student, although nearly
70 years of age. His superstition, which
to him is a mOnomania, is such that
he imagines himself constantly sur
rounded by witches who are trying
to fly away with him, and to pre-
vent them from carrying out their
object he wears around his waist a sack
like belt filed with chunks of lead and
weights his ankles with mineral to such
an extent that he is barely able to drag
one foot after the other. He subsists
entirely upon herbs in order to keep off
the witches, eschewing all kinds of meat,
vegetables and other food usually par
taken of by man. He has a number of
cheap alarm clocks which are set for
every hour in the night, under the belief
that the striking will keep the witches
from his house-a miserable hovel ON
the outskirts of the city, where he dwells
alone. Before meals and on retiring to
bed he repeats various incanta-
tions to propitiate the witches, and when
about his work and not talking to
other people is constantly muttering to
imaginary beings of the hobgoblin order,
by whom he claims to be at all times sur
rounded. visit to Seip's domicile was
made to-day by the correspondent, who
found the place literally filled with
bottled toads, lizards, snakes and other
hideous objects, which are supposed by
the owner to possess some occult power
or influence in protecting him from in
jury or harm by witches. These articles
were discovered on every hand and in all
sorts of receptacles. Scores of dried
snake skins were suspended from the
mortarless rafters of the hut, and num-
Der of the skeletons of dogs and cats
most skilfully articulated and polished
were set up on a shelf over Seip's bed.

Postmaster Suicides.

ST. PAUL, April PA Mandan. Dakota,
special to the Pioneer Press says: There
is every reason to think that Postmaster
Cannon, Of FIT. Lincoln, has committed
suicide because the postmaster inspector
recently found some slight irregularity in
his accounts. He has been missing for
six days.

midst of dead silence, but conscious that
we were the object of the concentrated gaze
of some eight thousand pairs of eyes. 1t
was somewhat trying ordeal, but we car
ried it off as best we could. At length the
door of the hut opened, and a gigantic fig
ure, with a splendid tiger-skin karrosS flung
over its shoulders, stepped out, followed by
the boy Scragga, and what appeared to us to
be withered up monkey, wrapped in a fur
cloak. The figure seated itself upon stool,
Scragga took his stand behind it, and the
withered-up monkey, crept on all-fours into
the shade of the hut and squatted down.
Still there was silence.
Then the gigantic figure slipped off the
karross and stood up before us, truly
alarming spectacle. 1t was that of an enor-
nous man with the most entirely repulsive
countenance we had ever beheld. The lips
were as thick as negro's, the nose was fiat,
it had but one cleaning black eye (for the
other was represented by hollow in the
| face), and its whole expression was cruel
and sensual to a degree. From the large
head rose a magnificent plume of white
ostrich feathers, the body was clad in a. shirt
| of shining chain armor whilst round the
waist and right knee was Sle usual garnish
! of entails. In the right hand was a huge
! spear. Round the neck was thick torque
| of gold, and bound on to the forehead WIGS :
single and enormous uncut diamond.
Still there was silence; but not for long
Presently the figure, whom we rightly
guessed to be the king, raised the great
spear in his hand. Instantly eight thousand
spears were raised in answer, and from eight
thousand Threats rang out the royal salute Of
'Koom." Three times this was repeated
and each time the earth shock with the noise
that can only be compared to the deepes
notes of thunder.
